Even though I've been a PC gamer since for the past 15 years I consider myself a late comer to DOS games. I only really got into DOS games in the mid 90's and played the likes of Carmaggden, GTA, Quake 1 & 2, Wing Commander 4. Before that I was an Amiga fan and stubbornly kept with it even though Commodore had gone out of business, I played tons of classics on my old Amiga 1200 and Artai ST - Elite, Starglider 2, Monkey Island (which was superior to the PC version), Red Baron, Populous, Wing Commander 1.
That was a time when you could let you imagination run wild and you could escape and pretend to be an actual spaceman flying a chip across 1000's of light years and I didn't give a **** about frame rates, core scaling and GPU usage
